How many people have you heard say, I already give to ACS? or I have a sister and I give via her or ... Here is the thing i want to know? How many people know we ARE NOT RAISING MONEY FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH?
Susan G. Komeman, Relay Lay for Life and many others do that. What we do is totally different and I just realized we DO NOT CAPITALIZE ON THAT!!! We raise money to help entire families cope with breast cancer through programs, we raise money to make sure women can get treatments via rides and free screenings, we raise money for something as simple as makeup and wigs to make someone feel more "normal". "DO NOT think this is raising money for Cancer Research. Plenty of groups do that. This, this is different. This is the wig a patient wears to look and feel her best. This is the voice that helps a father explain to his kids why mommy is so sick. This is the ride to a treatment so dad can work to pay bills. This is the ad that talks about good foods. This is the Happy Birthday! Think of it as the hand that has reached out to take the patient and the family down a long road to success."
